Robots...

There is a new robot on the market, specifically designed for the Lazy American or Lazy European or Lazy whoever. The robot is called Roomba. Roomba is the next generation home appliance, a housewife’s (or househusband’s) dream come true. No longer do you have to worry about sweeping the floor, simply program Roomba to clean your kitchen floor, or any floor for that matter. Just turn it on and watch it go.

Now there are a couple different models, one is your “Typical” vacuum robot, which will do a decent job and clean entire rooms. But one of the models actually has a scheduler, so you can schedule when you want to have it clean. Which is great, because then while you are napping, you can actually be doing house work. The best of the models also has a remote control function, so you can send it after a particularly stubborn piece of trash, or after a particularly annoying pet or child. From the reviews that I have read, the vacuum capabilities are better than its predecessors, but still aren’t the best in the vacuum world, but hey it’s a robot.
